So, I've been hearing a squeaking sound, at start up and especially under load, when driving my van of late. At first, I suspected my turbo was going bad, but I investigated that right away because I wanted to be sure and avoid the very costly replacement or time consuming rebuild. Good news, my turbo is fine. My belts however are dry. Today I got out in and under my van and lubed most of them with Gunk Belt Conditioner.
The squeak went away almost immediately, so there's that. I may need to go back in and adjust the double belt on the alternator in the future, but I'll wait to hear from it again before I start wrenching.
In other news, I started this thread as a place to put your day-to-day van related projects. Honestly, you see this sort of thing everywhere and I'm surprised that one of you guys didn't beat me to it.
